Biography:

The foster son of a farming couple, Luke has been raised
on the backwater planet of Tatooine with little idea of his true
heritage. He survives personal tragedy and deep pain, and
overcomes impossibly high odds to become a hero of the
Rebel Alliance. Luke Skywalker always knew that he was the
son of a man who fought valiantly in the Clone Wars, but his
adventures lead him to discover that his past is touched with
unspeakable darkness.

Luke's childhood was spent helping his aunt and uncle on
their moisture farm and becoming a skillful pilot in his T-16
Skyhopper, shooting womp rats with good friends such as
Biggs Darklighter. He had hoped to enter the Academy with
Biggs, but his uncle Owen Lars has held him back. Destiny
brings the affairs of the galaxy to young Skywalker's
doorstep in the form of two droids that his uncle purchases,
C-3PO and R2-D2. Thus starts an adventure that takes Luke
on a voyage of self-discovery, with his bravery and
commitment to the light side of the Force tested at every
step.

Luke constantly faces challenges that would test any mortal:
The responsibility for either destroying the Empire's super
weapon, the Death Star, or seeing it destroy the backbone
of the Rebellion; learning patience at the hands of Jedi
Master Yoda, yet having to choose between completing his
training or trying to rescue his imperiled friends; facing the
horrifying truth of his parentage, and then instantly deciding
what path to take; and finally taking the nearly unimaginable
risk that there was still some goodness deep within the dark
soul of one of the galaxy's most evil warriors.
